Default Jump Pack

How many people carry a jump pack starter in case you run your battery dead? What model do you have and how well has it worked?

I use this one at my shop and carry with me, when I know I'll be 'pimpin' lol. It's a little overkill for a bike as it will start a diesel truck easily, like advertised. You can find them for $270.

This is the one I carry. I have had to use it once and it worked really well. It gets used much more often as a portable charger but works well for jump too.

I carry one, bought one off Amazon a year ago or so. Comes in a zippered case so it doesn’t rattle around in your saddlebag. Unsure if brand but I’ve used it a few times and it works great. Let me see if I can dig up a link.
